Oh, the Emmys. Long have they lived in the shadow of the Oscars, but no, not this year. Because this year, all the looks at the 2015 Emmys red carpet proves that TV's biggest night is just as glamorous, gorgeous, and high-fashion as all the Met Galas, Grammys, and Academy Awards combined. But what else can you expect from an event that not only has some of the industry's biggest fashionistas on the guest list (see: Heidi Klum, Laverne Cox), but also has some of TV's most stylish shows as nominees? From Taraji P. Henson and her cast on Empire, to Emilia Clarke and the GOT gang, to Jon Hamm and Kiernan Shipka and the rest of the Mad Men co., I think it's safe to say that we are in for a delicious, eye-candy-filled treat, ladies and gentlemen.
Last year's red carpet brought us some unforgettable looks, like Samira Wiley's bright yellow number and Sarah Hyland's crop top + full coral skirt combination. Blue was the It color of the evening, while sequins reigned supreme, from clutches to dress trims. This year, I'm expecting a lot of the same: shiny detailing and big, rich colors anticipating fall's arrival. As far as who will be best dressed, my money's on one of the GOT girls (I see you, Sophie Turner).
Without further ado, let's take a look at all the looks from the 2015 Emmys red carpet.
Caitlin Gerard
Gerard was born to wear this dress.

King proves that white after Labor Day is a good idea.
Amanda Crew
I'm in love with Crew's gown, even though it reminds me of a gorgeous blue China plate.

Melisandra would not approve of the soft pink, but I do.
Liev Schreiber & Naomi Watts

Morena belongs on the red carpet with this look.

Jessica had to wear sunglasses to shade the fabulosity of her ensemble.
Samira Wiley
Samira is a fan of the bold, monochromatic gowns and it's clear why.
